Ingredients

• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 3 stalks green onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then finely shred the cabbage into thin strips using a sharp knife or a food processor. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrot. Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips and chop the green onions into small rounds. Add the carrot, bell pepper, and green onions to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss thoroughly to evenly coat all the ingredients.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable mixture and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly softened but still crunchy.

Step 6

Remove from heat and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top for an added crunch and flavor boost.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a warm side dish or let it cool and enjoy it as a chilled salad. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
